The Bastardos Food File

[Larry]

The key to the tank loaf is to get it hot from the bakery, rip the end off it and gouge out all that warm doughy white bread grom fuel in a surf starved frenzy while waiting for the chips next door. Then large, salty, BBQ sauce drenched hot chips are stuffed in hollow loaf and groms walk back down beach to graze at leisure on a perfect blend of carbos, fat, salt and BBQ sauce.

NB: this feed is only appropriate as second breakfast, between dawn patrol and second surf of the morning. Exceptions are when freezing southerly blowing and groms have to huddle in (Bastardos)

All entries are welcome

my surfing diet has changed a little in the 25 years since since my grommethood (above)
Pre-surf brekky used to be 10-14 weetbix, now I just have a berocca and paddle out. (berrocca in the morning is like a sports drink with vitamins)
Post surf brekky used to be the tank loaf above, now its more likeley a fruit smoothy and some toast.
I kind of miss being able to eat like grom.

December. Half a litre of water and a cup of coffee at 3am. Drive north out of San Clemente, CA for five hours, very fast up the freeway, another cup of coffee and a doughnut at the gas station in Ventura. Turn off toward Montana de Oro national park, park in bushes, 4x3 wettie, run down dew-soaked track. Surf excellent heavy coldwater reefbreak for several hours, eight feet, three others out. Get out, walk back up track, drive slowly to nearby village. Three eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, more coffee. Drive south and get to Rincon for the arvo session.

there's little town north of wollongong called coalcliff, real little town stuck between mountains and the sea, got lawrence hargreave drive going through it maybe two other streets and that's it. it's real little, and real pretty. i was a kid and lived few towns south of coalcliff but knew it well because of the blue dolphin cafe, which stood on the sea side of the highway at the top of a slope leading down to the beach, and every time we went past on way to dad's uncle's in stanwell park or surfing in stanwell park or garie we stopped at the blue dolphin cafe for the enormous lentil burgers on multigrain buns made right there bigger than my head with entire vegetable garden for a salad and blue dolphin's own chutney a bucket-size dollop on top of the lentil patty so big it shoulda called boompotty not patty. maybe i've never enjoyed any meal as much as i enjoyed those lentil burgers at the blue dolphin cafe.

there's little town north of wollongong called coalcliff, ... blue dolphin cafe.

They did the best banana smoothies as well to wash em down

always a fav post surf feed

[barstardos]

The only rival to the Coalcliff blue Dolphin was the Rainbow Cafe (i think thats what it was called) at Stanwell.
Teriyaki Burger was epic. Havent been there for years.

There is nothing near as good on the Northern beaches now.

Chicken lover and a chocolate brownie from eat it at paulies in newport, cant get enough of em.

[Spoon]

If we are looking back there used to be the Big T roadhouse near Catherine Hill Bay that used to do a great Brekky after the early when you could camp anywhere up near the north end.

[gman]

1 or 2 pieces of fruit in car on the way.

Glass of warm water or herbal tea.

Chanting "om mani padme hum" until first wave.

After surfing, tofu or vegetables or more fruit, more water.

For a treat I might have a carob covered licorice stick.

Just a thought, are there many other surfers up with Buddha?

'Pupusa is a rounded corn-meal dough usually stuffed with meat, beans or cheese, topped with tomato sauce, and served with curtido - sliced cabbage marinated in vinegar. It is an unwritten rule that Salvadoran men talk about pupusas, but only women make them. The discussion, with its overlay of Latin fatalism and mother-love, is similar to the discourse around chili con carne. Instead of "My chili is the best in the world, and everyone else's is unfit for donkeys," in El Salvador we hear something like, "My mother's pupusas are the best in the world, but these will have to do for today."'
